How to land your first Temp Assignment.

If you are new to Temp Market then firstly, welcome! Secondly, we understand that it can take a little bit of getting used to creating a Temp Market profile to match with temporary jobs, but the great news is, it’s easy!

Landing your first temp assignment means completing all the features of your profile. Then, once you have completed your first temp assignment, you get a 5-Star rating from your employer, which will be displayed on your profile for future employers looking to recruit temporary staff, to see. This will help you get ranked ahead of other available temporary staff.

Before you match with your first assignment, complete Temp Market profile to stand out:

Write a bio, summarising your skills, experience and a bit about your hobbies and interests. Tell your employer what you like to do outside of work.

Record a video introduction of yourself. A quick summary around one minute long, of what you are doing now, what your skills are and the kind of temp work you are looking for.

Make sure you complete skills tests so you can match with employers who have specified particular skills that the assignment requires. You are able to take skills tests multiple times, so if you didn’t do so well on your first attempt, no stress, simply take it again until you have a score that you believe accurately reflects your skill level.

So what are you waiting for? Get started and start matching with temporary jobs through your Temp Market profile.
